Skyhigh 20 Editorial
From C64 Diskmag Wiki
Editorial Time passes, numerious releases are brought to the scene. Cracks are flowing in the stream, and the ma- gazines are being pumped out all the time. Normally there's a number attached to every issue. Eventhough this does not seem to be so anymore. Now you have to put the name of a month behind it; don't ask me why, coz I don't really grasp it? Anyway, let's return to the numbers! Some time ago I released issue #10 of this magazine to the masses, a very special issue that was. This was the first time that Skyhigh turned 2-sides for real. Now I have made number 10 one more time. Or in other words: I have reached another milestone in C64 Skyhigh history. Please feel warmly welcomed to SKYHIGH ISSUE #20 SKYHIGH ISSUE #20 This is another mega - killer edition. At this very time I don't know if it will be 3 or 4 disksides big, but I do know that it will be BIG!! But why do I make it this big, you might ask! Is this only to show off or what is the true reason? Well to answer that we will have to continue to talk a bit a- bout the numbers. You see 20 is not the only number attached to this issue !! January 16th is another im- portant one, becoz at this very day Skyhigh will cele brate its 3'rd birthday. Yes that is right. Issue #20 is being released on its third birthday. Quite a scoop eh! This is the reason why this issue has grown to such dimensions. So me being a smartass who wants to be hotshot of the months is a truth with modifications! Sure I want to create something special to celebrate this event, coz this is what it's all about isn't it? I think so! See how many doesn't remember issue #10 of this mag? Just mention the little game Raz-Man and everyone knows what you are talking about! This will most likely be the case with this issue too! But don't you expect it to be this big in the future. Next time it will be back to normal, meaning 2 disksides!! So what can we offer you this time? Well, we naturally have the normal chapters like: Tha Biz-mix, Cupid Corner, Shuze & Socks, reactions, Cover cruise, Spread da word and so on, but also alot of special ones written for this issue especially. Furthermore some of the 'normal' chapters has been changed a bit. A good example would be the charts, which has been taken over by Shuze instead of Caprice Design. Read the charts why!! Talking about charts, then we have made mega-charts chapters this time. This is, as you might have figured out by now, a sumtion of all the votes in 1995! Check it out ya'll!! Shuze has really put a lot of work into this issue, so besides his own chapter and the charts you can also find other articles like: LIBELLOUS - DEATH OF A RACE & a CODING chapter All great chapters in my eyes! You should also take a closer look at the interviews this time. We have managed to put our cold hands on some quite famous persons for this issue. Does names like : TTS, Chris Huelsbeck, Junkie or JCH sound inte- ressting?? Well then better skip this and find the interview section right away! In the more philosofically corner we have chapters by our own Cupid, and another wellknown person in this scene, namely : Kingfisher of Triad. At the Party 5 I was sitting tipping all KF's text in, while listening to these persons. You know what!! they are 'deep'... Damn!! I thought they would suddenly jump onto the table and start to preach for the crowd - he he!! No seriously they are both very cool, with a lot of cool thoughts. But hey why don't you read their chapters instead of listening to my bullshit here! We have also got helping hands from editors of other disk mags this time. This being in the shape of NTI, VENGEANCE & DUKE. Check out what they have to say! Also another of my editors have started up a new chapter, (or rather 2) this time. I am talking about METAL!! You should take a closer look at his IRC chapter for this time Another struggle which we have fought for this time, is the addies. Yep many of you have complained about them being outdated, and too many sceners who had left the scene was still included. As Cupid visited me some time ago we went through all the chapters, e- rasing with a very hard hand. As a matter of fact, then 120 addies were deleted. Think about it 120!!!. Many magazines don't even have this many addies in their mags. So it is quite a remarkable number I think! Please do me a favour and check out your addy to see if it is correct. Maybe you don't want it anymore, or perhaps yours where one of the deleted ones. And as you are at it; why not check out for the persons you know. I would be more than happy to recieve a list of corrections for the next issue. As always there are the extras included. This time we have 2 different for you. As always one raped by the one and only Intruder, but also a second one just to please Cupid. There was nothing I could do, He just insisted having it included. So what could I do?? Absolutely nothing. Well just wait to see it and then you'll know why he wanted it! - hehe!! We also have another part under the Extras for you this time. Actually it should have been included on the previous issue, but according to my priorities, I choose to include the JCH stuff instead. But here it is. The Anti-Nazi part/game by MAP of PLUSH. Check it out ya'll. It is most definetely worth it!! Third I have also included a little piccy by Mad. He himself says it is nothing special, and at least two years old, but still worth a peep I think!! I guess I have revealed more than I actually should have by now, so I guess it is time to end this chapter.
